While I have never tried anything like that, it would seem to me that
you would need to use Win API's.

Subject: [pro_vb] Printing from VB Application to different printers

hi everyone,

     i have to make an application through which i must be able to print

pdf files but there should be restrictions on how many user can print
from
local printer and how many from centralised printer.

     as an eg. if user have given 10 prints and user has limit of
printing
to local printer to 3 then the next 7 prints should automatically be
shifted to the centralised printer.

     the user is not allowed to choose neither local nor network
printer,
this should be taken care by the application. the number of prints and
path to pdf file is given by user in a text box in vb form.
